Doodlebug Winter Wonderland Snowglobe Mini Shape Card…

January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi friends and cardmakers! A little more snow here today so a good day to post a cute little snowglobe card I made for one of our grands birthday.

These super cute images are from the Doodlebug Winter Wonderland stamp set and coordinating die set.

The card looks big in my photos but it’s really only 3 x 3 inches! ❤ The images are small but so cute and easy to color. I used Copic sketch markers. The largest snowman is 1 ½ inches tall.

I stamped the snowglobe, colored the base, then die cut another snowglobe for the card back. Scored the back at the top so it would open…glued it above the score line to the card front.

I love how it turned out… charming! It would be a cute tag too.

Hope it made you smile! I’m going to link it to the #SnowmenOfJanuary event on social media right now.

Thank you for stopping by!

poppystamps NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn (horse today) Barn Easel Card…

January 21, 2022January 20, 2022 Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone! It’s freezin season but the sun is shining and it’s warm enough for me in the house! haha

poppystamps came out with this NEW Whittle Happy Unicorn die and I wasn’t in a unicorn mood after I die cut in white I guess. I decided to try an inked Distress Ink unicorn that ended up a horse! lol

Then I remembered the poppystamps Country Barn Pop Up Easel die set and I was off after two other starts!

I had some fun with the Memory Box Heart Streamer Globe die. It was one of my starts but I decided not to use it this time but then I decided to cut the streamers off and use them on the barn! Barns always need embellished, right?!

I’m pretty tickled with how it turned out. I took a bunch of pictures hoping they show what I did.

I made a little stand for the tufts of grass die cuts cut in TE Peapod cardstock and that whole piece with the horse lays down on the inside when you fold it up.

The horse is kinda like a second easel…

A strip of cardstock that I scored at ¼ in, glued the grass and then the horse to the ¼ inch part.

The sentiment, from the poppystamps Whittle Wild Animal Sentiments clear stamp set, is heat embossed on Taylored Expressions Cherry Pop cardstock with Lawn Fawn white embossing powder.

I put the easel together just like it shows on the back of the package. I have to look every time! lol

It folds flat to fit in the envelope…

I’m not sure who I’ll send this too but hopefully someone that loves horses!

Holler if you have any questions!

Now back to the other two starts and see if they go anywhere! There’s another new unicorn set with smaller unicorns and rainbows. Cute!

Thank you for stopping by today! We’re headed toward Valentines Day at a gallop! haha

ttul!

NEW Memory Box Gentle Blossom Watercolor Floral Card…

January 14, 2022 Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hello Friend! How is your January going? I woke up to HUGE snowflakes coming down…living in a snowglobe for a few hours!

I don’t have a snow card ready to post though! lol

This flower is a NEW die from Memory Box…isn’t it pretty? I added three die cuts of the MB Gentle Pine Needle Sprig behind it.

I used MB 6×6 cardstock pads and the gingham is from the MB Christmas Plaid 6×6 pad. Links below. (I don’t see the pattern paper anymore so I linked to a poppystamps stamp that makes a similar pattern)

This card ended up 5 ½ inches square.

The sentiment is the NEW Memory Box Hello Friend Posh Script die. I love it! Love how it cuts out the inner pieces and looks so nice!

It feels like a little bit of Christmas coming into the new year here but I’m sure it could be a beautiful Spring floral card too, for any occasion!

I didn’t use a lot of foam mounting tape. I glued the pine directly to the card panel, the floral has thin foam mounting tape under the center and the word die is on foam mounting tape.

Very easy dies to work with! Could be quick and easy! I had to walk away for a bit to decide how to bring in the pattern paper and then it hit me to add the pine! It just needed something…I’m thinking there are other dies in the MB collection that would be excellent additions to this flower.

That’s it for now. I have to get in the groove. A bunch of birthday cards need to be made before I’m late for all of them instead of just two! ha

Have a great weekend…it looks like someone here will be blowing and plowing and it’s not me! ha

Memory Box You Anchor Me Card…

September 17, 2021 Pam Sparks9 Comments

It’s always fun to have a masculine card in the stash! Today’s card is the new Memory Box You Anchor Me stamp set and coordinating dies!

I stamped the anchor in TE’s Blue Corn ink, it’s a dark blue….love it! Not black. hehe Die cut it with the coordinating die, popped it up on a Memory Box die cut Wrapped Circles die cut, then matted it with a Circle Basics die cut in dark brown.

I got out the Memory Box End of My Rope set… don’t you love that name?! lol Decided I liked one, die cut it in white cardstock and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Some woodgrain pattern paper…two sentiments stamped in the MISTI in Ranger Coffee Archival Ink from the You Anchor Me set.

Then on the inside, a couple more sentiments.

I die cut the panel with the Memory Box Wrapped Stitch Rectangles die set. I should’ve stamped one of the little fish (in the set) inside with the words too!

I popped the anchor and rope up with a little 3M foam mounting tape, the 1/16th inch stuff so It’s still CAS and mailable!

Thank you for stopping by and come back! Christmas is coming soon! Can’t wait!
